In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
The Joint Chief of Staff, commanders of the three defense forces and gendarmerie and the statewide Chief of Police are permitted that for safeguarding discipline and prevention of chaos and disorderliness and confusion in the defense and security forces with observance of complete caution, to enforce the disciplinary rules against military and police offenders. In this regard, they can grant permission in essential cases to those commanders whom they are certain of not misusing this permission.
